From my friend Kay Wilson who lives in Israel: 

A few things about the riots on the Gaza border and the move of the USA embassy to Jerusalem.

1) There are no Jews in Gaza. There haven't been for nearly 13 years.

2) According to Forbes, Hamas has an approximate ANNUAL turnover of about $1billion - that is enough to build a bloody paradise in Gaza.

3) Hamas executes and/or tortures gays, Christians, muslim apostates, collaborators, those suspected of collaboration, and anyone who seeks any normalization with Israelis.

Here's why.

In the Hamas charter it says,

a) Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it. b) The land of "Palestine" (i.e. the area allotted to the Jews by the UN in 1947 and now the Modern State of Israel - with or without the "West Bank") - is an Islamic Waqf [Holy Possession] consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgment Day. No one can renounce it or any part, or abandon it or any part of it. c) Palestine is an Islamic land. Since this is the case, the Liberation of Palestine is an individual duty for every Moslem wherever he may be. d) The day the enemies usurp part of Moslem land, Jihad becomes the individual duty of every Moslem. In the face of the Jews' usurpation, it is compulsory that the banner of Jihad be raised. e) The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: 'O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.

Charming.

4) Hamas pays a lifetime salary to terrorists (and their families) who murder Jews, or terrorist's families of which the terrorists have used the "art" of killing themselves with the result of murdering Jews.

5) Over the last few weeks, Hamas has called upon people to breach the border, cut the fence, fly kites carrying molotov cocktails to burn our crops and our homes, and according to their charter, call for the murder of Jewish women, children and men.

Today's 'protest' was planned to be the biggest of many recent protests. And this date was chosen due to Israel's declaration of independence 70 years ago today (Gregorian calendar). That is why President Trump chose to move the embassy today.

To suggest - as the mainstream media are doing - that the loss of life on the Gaza border is because of President Trumps decision to move the USA embassy to Jerusalem, is as ridiculous, ignorant, spurious, and illogical - as it is obscene.

Demonstrations near the U.S. Embassy in Awkar, north of Beirut, Sunday, turned violent as protesters took to the streets to denounce U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to recognize occupied Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The protest turned violent when riot police attacked journalists, photographers and protesters with tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannons and using illegal force to arrest people.
